If you've come to the shop looking for double-knitting weight wool, then you've heard us extolling the virtues of this wonderful yarn. It's woolen-spun from Peruvian Highland wool, giving it an airiness that produces a light but hard-wearing and surprisingly warm fabric, and allows it to knit to a wide range of gauges. It has a grippy texture that makes it a stellar choice for colourwork, but it is soft enough to be worn next to the skin or over a thin base layer. When worked on a small needle, it is phenomenal for cables and texture patterns, taking on a surprising silkiness. Amazing quality. Phenomenal yardage. Excellent price. Manufactured for a family-run Canadian company...Is it any wonder we love this yarn?
